I just saw the Merit system and it is new to me and I read some post about the new merit system and I am asking if it is true that it is hard for a newbie to reach a higher rank because of the newly added system on this forum.
Your learning and giving commitment to the forum will only go in the bypass speed to reach the next higher ranks. Actually after this system came low rank member does not get the merits for their post.
But still if you make the posts which explains the technical assistance and statistical data I am damn sure no one will ignore your thread to pass away giving merits.
